But will it hurt his jump shot?

BERNIE STRONG LIKE BULL

Would be great if Keyes and DSB could post their Breitbart stuff elsewhere.

jesus why does EVERYTHING have to be so goddamn antagonistic with these people. "Sorry haters" give me a fucking break.

still breathing sorry not sorry

yeah
but

woohoo!

xp yeah why are bernie bros so antagonisti?, (I'm over here fucking myself.)

lol

dsb stop showing your ass

i wasn’t gonna say anything but evol j otm

who is dsb?

I would just like to announce to all the haters and losers that Bernie has had the biggest surgery, the best surgery and doctors say his heart could be pumping at full capacity until he's 120, even 130 years of age.

perhaps better posted to the secret conservative opinion thread but frankly bernie's age is my biggest knock against him. as far as public service goes, I would cop to being explicitly ageist and - for a myriad of reasons - support imposed retirement (with pension) at every level of government service at 75. tbh Warren's not much better in this regard.

bernie's age is my biggest knock against him

def in my top 5

Hope Bernie recovers. He’s an important voice— whether you prefer Warren or him, I think it’s undeniable that Bernie did a lot to make policies like medicare for all, free college, debt cancellation etc seem possible.

xp - Same but the aging curve between early 70s and late 70s is very different at least. I'd prefer that we just implant Bernie's brain into Mayor Pete's supple, lithe body.

PROTECT BERNIE SANDERS AT ALL COSTS

I think its dumb as hell for bernie supporters and warren supporters to be at each others’ throats. Either one at the top of a dem ticket would be an incredible achievement

fuck you. Other posters were talking about the book here so I looked it up. SInce it's edited by Warren's cousin that seems to give cred to her claim that there's a family story about ancestry.

I don't think they are in any meaningful numbers. The key part of 'left twitter' is 'twitter' IMO.

xp Sorry, Keyes, I have no antagonism towards you, but the only material I could find even calling her Warren's cousin originates in the nut-o-sphere, Breitbart specifically. The whole thing reads like a ratfuck.

Her claim doesn't need cred, I don't think anyone doubts that. It would be cool if she used it as a teaching moment about the way white people (particularly of certain regions) received family lore about Native American ancestry and how that relates to the history of colonization and subjugation. "It's real fucked up that I was raised to think this was part of our heritage and how that obscured the way we were living on stolen land."

Ethan Weiss, a cardiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, said the stent procedure Bernie Sanders underwent typically is “not anything I would get too excited about,” calling it "mostly a nuisance." https://t.co/ChKYomVrlp

exactly the kind of heart procedure i expect bernie to have lol

OTM, though at least on Twitter it does feel lately like 90% of the vitriol is coming from the former group.

Stenting probably won't change Bernie's prospects, but it will give him some relief from angina. Someday I might get Dr. McDougall's "Do Not Cath, I Will Sue" tattoo.

To be clear, I was citing where I was seeing chatter about the cookbook online since I'd never heard of it before.

why settle

The fans fight because the two campaigns have much in common.

maybe bcz that's the group that loses when the MSM says "they're the same ideologically"

Having won acclaim, tenure, and two Senate campaigns on domestic matters means that Warren's foreign policy, insofar as she's got one, looks like received ideas/Dem boilerplate. That's where I lean toward Bernie, and it'll catch up to her. She's demonstrated she's a fast learner, though, faster than I thought.

if Bernie wins, his VP choice suddenly becomes...important.

bahgawd, is that...is that Stacey Abrams' music?

2020 will be a slobberknocker

All the best to Bernie and hope he's back on the campaign soon. At this point the left seems to be winning, him and Warren combined makes the left seem really strong AND still able to have discussions about details. Angry people tweeting don't ruin that. Although they really are stupid and annoying.

the nathan robinson piece about warren was pretty terrible, and he’s gone full-pocahantas on twitter. bad look

fwiw Warren herself is on the young side of old, but the health scares are different for women. Shit like this is why my ideal candidate would've been Sanders as a woman of 58 named Bernadette Sanders.

go on

don't tell SNL, Baldwin will do it

already DMed him on Twitter

nathan robinson used to suck ass at writing, now he just sucks ass

xp to al
http://i.gifer.com/6H4T.gif

The nathan robinson piece showed he is practiced in the art of concern trolling.

even when i've agreed with him (cf. his jordan peterson piece) his writing is just... unendurable

Like, i get people prefer sanders, i do too but it’s close, but the idea of her nomination is not “very worrying.” She would be far better than an establishment democrat. Also, the current occupant of the white house wants to use alligators and snakes against desperate migrants and also shoot them in the legs.

As bad as Robinson’s writing is, his voice and mannerisms are worse. He’s a fedora away from m’lady.

he wears a fedora. that's not the problem with him though.

NJR gives me maddox.xmission vibes. also slatestarcodex/scott alexander vibes if any of u read him

Something to be said for SSC imo.

there are meaningful differences between Sanders and Warren that need to be hashed out now, while we're having a primary. Warren has already backpedaled on M4A, and she gave a BS answer re: foreign policy. I don't trust her not to bomb Iran. But she's the only other Democrat I would even consider voting for (I don't live in a swing state).

President Bernie Sanders is an unparalleled possibility and one worth fighting for while there is still time.
